When we got back home from errands today I noticed that there was a hole in the damper. It is the size of a golf ball. Is this a real bad issue. The only concern i really see is sparks getting up into the chimney and causing a fire. Could that really happen. Since sparks could go up around the sides of the damper as well.
The way it looks is a piece of metal the cures over the enterance of the hole to the outtake for the stove pipe. The pipe than turns on a sharo angle . The after one foot of pipe it goes into the wall/chimney.
